Popis: We highlight recent experiments that use magnetic X-ray scattering as a probe of magnetic recording media. Resonant small-angle scattering at the 2p levels of 3d transition elements strongly enhances scattering from both magnetic and chemical structure of thin films and allows a quantitative determination of the chemical and magnetic grain sizes with nm resolution. The chemical grain size measurements compliments the information determined by transmission electron microscope. However, the ability to measure magnetic correlations in the
